EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the final resting places of two legendary figures from the American Wild West: Calamity Jane and Wild Bill Hickok. Located in the historic cemetery of Deadwood, South Dakota, these graves serve as a poignant reminder of the region's rich past and its connection to American culture. The vertical composition of this image emphasizes the solemnity and reverence surrounding these grave sites. The weathered tombstones stand tall against a backdrop of open skies, symbolizing both the vastness of North America and the eternal nature of death. As we gaze upon these grave markers, we are transported back in time to an era when lawlessness reigned supreme in Deadwood. Wild Bill Hickok, renowned for his sharpshooting skills and fearless demeanor, met his tragic end here at the hands of an assassin's bullet. His burial site is marked by a simple yet dignified tombstone that pays homage to his larger-than-life persona. Beside him lies Calamity Jane, a woman known for her adventurous spirit and unconventional lifestyle. Her grave is adorned with flowers left by admirers who continue to be captivated by her audacious tales. In this photograph by Walter Rawlings/Robert Harding, we are reminded not only of their individual legacies but also how intertwined they were during their lives - forever linked in death as well. This image serves as a powerful testament to history's enduring fascination with those who dared to challenge societal norms on America's untamed frontier.
